Monitoring rural projects online in Malaysia
In Malaysia, the web portal “I Cerve U” for villages was launched concurrently by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi with the e-merah system, which is the district profiling database.
The portal was designed for rural folks to keep tabs on the status of development within their own community, says Tan Sri Khalid Ramli, director-general of Implementation Coordination Unit. It contains a list of public infrastructure in areas such as clinics, roads and housing. Also, the portal had a directory of links to services that would be useful to the residents such as employment and study opportunities.
In 2005, an information-sharing web portal Pakistan Relief and Information Systems for Earthquakes (RISE) was launched to provide information about the 4,000 earthquake-affected in Pakistan.
